argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - APR 17, 2004
Slumming at Dan's bday party -- upon arriving Dan offers me this gem of a beer, in anticiaption of #2K. Clear straw body with small-medium white head. Aroma is light, bready, grassy. Taste is the same -- innocuous and non-offensive. Light body. Not as bad as I feared.

bhensonb (7131) - Woodland, California, USA - JAN 13, 2008
Bottle. Not much aroma, just a bit of malt. Golden color with a decent white head. Thin bodied with fizzy carbonation. The flavor is rather clean malt and light hop. The finish is not quite dry, and just a little bitter. Arguably better than Bud.

hopdog (6943) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 8, 2006
12oz alluminum bottle given to me by fatty (gee, thanks!). Poured a light and see through golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas and tastes of corn and grain. Light metallic finish. This one had Dan Marino on the back (I hope they paid him a lot to ’endorse’ this one).
